CAJ: A long overdue update!

Hi all,

Sounds like we've all been having a challenging time this past week or so...

I've had some interruption with some health stuff (which is now all fine!) and I know a few of you have also been dealing with health issues of your own or with family members.

However, I'm pleased to hear that everyone is still motivated to do what they can - when they can!  As mentioned in a previous post, it is progress not perfection.

I had to do some major catch up since I was out of town for a few days...  so here you go!

I got rid of:

32 pieces of jewelry
2 irons
1 printer cartridge
27 books
45 plastic containers left in the garage by a previous roommate which the landlord said can go out with recycling.
1 oversized cardboard box in the garage
1 metal tray
1 plastic file box
3 old notebooks
1 ream of printer paper
42 pieces of clothing, towels etc... some trashed, some donated
2 glass candle holders
2 old phone books sitting on the front porch that no one else bothered to throw away either
1 foot spa
1 child's flashlight

The trash and recycling are out and everything else is in my car.  I'm heading to Goodwill shortly to donate.

If anyone is counting...  that was 157 items.  :)

Also... I had 57 pieces of junk mail that I recycled the other day and 16 miscellaneous kitchen items that I forgot to write about.

So it the course of a week's time I got rid of 230 items!  Holy Cow! If I were really counting that would cover me through January 25th.  But I'm going to push myself to have a daily routine this week and get rid of the designated number of items each day.

We'll see how it goes!
